One of the biggest challenges that Project-Centric Organizations (PCOs) face with today is successfully managing projects, and ultimately delivering a project on time and on budget. Successful PCOs need to not only provide good project management, but they need to “Manage by Projects”, which requires the integration, prioritization, communication and continuous control of multiple projects. By ensuring that sound project infrastructure and management tools are in place in your organization, your project teams can collaborate, stay informed and on track to meet project goals and achieve business objectives.

Microsoft Project Server provides you with a technology platform to securely develop and successfully deploy best practices for managing projects across your organization. You will be able to plan, track, forecast, report and control your projects to successful conclusion. Through a central repository for standardized project and resource data, Microsoft Project Server provides teams with convenient access to business-critical information through its Web interface, Microsoft Project Web Access. By providing powerful Web-based collaboration, analysis, and reporting tools, Microsoft Project Web Access enables entire project teams (team members, resource managers, project managers, accounting staff, customers and executives) to stay informed, up-to-date and on track.

As a Microsoft Project Solution Provider, we offer extensive Project Server and Project Professional capabilities in the following areas:

This complete service helps you efficiently implement and capitalize on the enterprise features and benefits in Microsoft Project Server 2002 and Microsoft Project Professional 2002.

• Assessment
  We assess many aspects of your organization to determine your organizational goals, business practices, project management techniques and performance metrics. We review your “as-is” model and work with you to create a vision for the future (“to-be” model). From this data, we create a road map to guide you to your future state.
• Installation, Integration and Configuration
  To ensure successful implementation, our consultants will help your staff install Project Server 2002, integrate it to external data sources and configure the software to match your project management methodology.
• Customization
  Out-of-the-box Project Server is a compelling solution. However, in some cases, custom views and reports may be required to meet your specific requirements. Our consultants will either complete these tasks for your organization or mentor your staff through the process.
• Training and Rollout
  Our consultants will work with you to develop a practical implementation plan to move you to your desired future state. To ensure your users are correctly utilizing the new tools, we will train them based on their unique roles within the organization. We have beginning and advanced training classes designed for Executives, Project Managers, Resource Managers and Team Members.
• Support
  Our technical support staff has scheduled support hours to ensure availability for your support calls and e-mails. For our local Wisconsin customers, we are typically less than one hour away and can reach your facility quickly for any scheduled or unscheduled appointments. For our remote customers, we have technology that enables us to access your system and quickly respond to your needs.

Our expertise in project management and our understanding of Microsoft technologies enable us to deliver solutions that maximize your project investment, improve your bottom line and ultimately allow your projects to run smoothly, profitably and successfully.
